Thinking outside the box your default setting?
Like to take things apart to see how they work? Bonus points if you can put them back together with nothing left over?
Tired of people rolling their eyes when you talk about your online friends as a valid source of social support?
Someone telling/asking you to do something a sure fire way to get you to NOT do it?
You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful awkwardness--and who gets your jokes. Someone who knows how to work with those parts of you that doesn't do "small talk" and who REALLY TRULY WANTS TO KNOW about your SPIN(s).
Alcohol and Drug Treatment & Psychedelic Integration
Wondering about your relationship to alcohol or other substances? Wanting to create a healthier relationship with cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, DMT, and other drugs? We can work together to figure out what an ideal use plan looks like for you. That might be moderation, abstinence, or lots of places in between.
You might also be seeking support for psychedelic integration: making sense of and incorporating insight gained from your psychonaut adventures.
Non-judgmental exploration with a skilled professional can be helpful to make meaning of these parts of your life.
Therapy for Burned Out Health Care Workers
So many people count of you for their care. Who can you rely on when you need confidential, professional support?
Even before COVID, rates of depression and anxiety were much higher in health care providers and nurses than the general public. The stresses of working through the pandemic have only exacerbated this distress.
Stigma, the culture of medicine, fear of losing confidentiality or being reported to the board don't need to stand in the way of getting the help that will support you being the excellent, compassionate provider you remember being.
Living Well with Chronic Illness or Disability
"When life gives you lemons, freeze them, and use them to throw at your enemies using some sort of trebuchet." - Jenny Lawson
Nobody wants to experience limitations, yet we all have them to some degree. People with chronic illness or disability have limitations thrown at them by other, even really well-meaning people in addition to their own bodies.
Learning to live our best lives while also living with chronic illness and disability matters!
Whether you're adjusting to a new life-changing condition or feel like you're tired of the same old problems, as both a nurse and licensed clinical social worker, I've got a lot of tips and tricks that might help.
Therapy for Queer, Trans, and Non-Binary People and Their Families
Queer, trans, and non-binary folx deserve competent, compassionate, and clearly supportive help.
You should never have to endure "educating" your therapist about anything sexual orientation or gender identity...
especially in a political climate that is trying to erase your existence.
Let's talk about whether we might be a good fit for the supporting you, your child, and/or your family.
Mental Health Crisis Support
Sometimes it can be hard to stay alive when your brain tells you you need to die.
If your mind is dividing by zero and keeps giving you error messages, don't go it alone!
